I was just reading your tags on that quote collection post, and it took me a solid minute to parse out 'harmena' in your tags but but but - Hennessy/Carmen/Liliana?????? PLS
Hahaha yep!! We're trying to figure out ship names and Carlianessy is...sort of a mouthful. It's cute, but I think Harmena might be cuter? And gives off the sort of vibes I think they have all together? 😌 @ephemeraltea came up with it!
We are all about Hennessy/Carmen/Liliana here!!! ☺️💕 I just think they're neat and all very good for each other!
Ahhhh!! I love the Kimblees you posted! I know I say this a lot but I simply ADORE the way you draw him!! 💜 I wanted to ask if it would be okay to use the headshot with glasses as an icon? Totally okay if not, I just think it’s so lovely! Hope you’re having a good day!
thenk u... <33
sure! I dont mind ppl using my art as an icon as long as theres credit somewhere!
Am I allowed to ask for #46 for Rahjim and Kharion? Otherwise #16 DeanCas <3
“am i allowed” I SAID ALL PAIRINGS!! And I will ALWAYS make exceptions for Rahjim and Kharion <33
This got stupid long but what else is new?!
46. A lingering kiss before a long trip apart.
Rahjim breathes heavily in the aftermath. After all this, it seems too easy. His uncle in chains, the throne is his now. It’s too big, too large. The life it offers is constrained, like chains around his arms. He will never be free, once he sits on it. He never asked for this burden.
Kharion sheaths his swords, “The fighting is done,” he declares, “my oath is fulfilled.”
“Take me with you,” Rahjim blurts out, “there’s so much to see out there-- so much more to experience. I can’t-- I’m not a leader. I’m no good at diplomacy. I want to fight, I want to travel.”
Kharion considers his words. The captain always takes his time with his thoughts. Rahjim likes how captivating that makes him, because his words are so carefully chosen.
“You would make for a terrible pirate,” Kharion finally says.
“I’m a very good pirate,” Rahjim insists, “I love treasure, and sharing your bunk.”
Kharion chuckles. His wings take up space as he stretches them out, shakes off the energy of the fight.
“If you ran away with me, you would regret it,” Kharion says.
Rahjim looks around the empty hall, back to the open throne. He’s right. To run away, leave his people leader-less, in the face of the Galran invasion? The Galra will completely overtake them, turn them into a colony with no rights, no power.
“I don’t know how to beat the Galra,” Rahjim admits, “I don’t-- I don’t think we have the power for that. And our allies won’t reach us in time. It’s a losing battle.”
“You’re good in a fight,” Kharion reminds him.
“Thank you for that,” Rahjim agrees.
“But you’re better with words,” Kharion finishes.
Rahjim blushes at the praise, “Good enough to convince a pirate to stay? Perhaps as my guard?”
“No one is that good,” Kharion lets him down gently. Rahjim already knew the answer. Kharion belongs to the open skies, to the lawless freedom of the pirate life.
“I’m going to miss you,” Rahjim confesses, “I know it’s strange to say to my captor--”
“Your captain,” Kharion corrects.
“I’ll be a Prince next time we meet. I’ll outrank you,” Rahjim reminds him.
"I know no sovereign,” Kharion says, “not even a backwater prince like you.”
“You may not recognize my power, but you like me anyways,” Rahjim says.
“Aye. Against my better judgement,” Kharion agrees, “you’re a rascal. Bring that to your politics. They won’t know what to do with you.”
“Listen, hopefully,” Rahjim says.
They’re both drawing out this goodbye, when they don’t have the time to do so.
Rahjim likes how Kharion towers over him. How the captain fills the space with his bulk.
“Thank you,” Rahjim says again.
“This was a job,” Kharion reminds him, “not personal. I don’t get involved.”
“Right,” Rahjim nods, “I did offer payment. It will-- I might need time to put it together. Can you return?”
“A pirate willingly coming to the crown Prince? Do you think I’m stupid?” Kharion laughs, “pay me the next time we meet.”
"When will that be. I’m going to be so busy, and it’s not like I can just go anywhere as the Prince-- oh,” Rahjim realizes. They’re never going to meet again.
“Kharion...” he starts.
Kharion cuts him off with a kiss. Sharp teeth against his mouth, the scent of the larger man around him. It’s a moment, an eternity in time. Because this is the end, and Rahjim is terrified of the future barreling in on him. Rahjim sighs as Kharion pulls away.
“I only did this for the money,” Kharion reminds him. A lie. The Captain has a softer heart than he’ll ever admit.
“I’ll have it ready, for the next time,” Rahjim promises.
“For the next time,” Kharion agrees, “don’t break your promise, my backwater prince.”
He spares one last look at Rahjim, and then takes his leave.
this is fun and ironic because according to dance teachers, medical professionals, and my friends and family, I am Bad At Relaxing :’)
exercise — mostly because it forces my brain to focus on something and also releases the Good Happy Brain Chemicals
practicing piano — literally the first thing on my “When I Eventually Move” shopping list is a keyboard bc i miss playing so so sooo much D: i don’t need a bed i need a gd piano
drawing/writing — these are lumped together because they both can either be relaxing or Even More Stress-Inducing RIP
going for a long walk — fresh air! flowers! not being in the same 2000 sq ft space i’m in at all times
editing — it’s a whole separate brain function from writing and weirdly satisfying? in college, i’d edit my prof’s manuscript before bed because it helped me wind down and go to sleep lol
